March 31, 2004Birthday in BrisbaneWe got to Brisbane today and are staying at a huge 500-bed hostel called The Palace. We are only staying because Jim knows someone who works there. It is supposed to be a huge party hostel with a bar underneath...Read this update Bye Byron BayHi y'all... currently Jim and I are in Brisbane, so I am about one location behind... The last two days we spent in Byron Bay, which is a very laid-back town on the beach. There are tons of surfers and...Read this update March 29, 2004Wine Tasting in the Hunter ValleySo two days ago, in Newcastle, we signed up for a wine tasting through the hostel. Most of the tastings were very expensive but this was much cheaper, and it was something we both thought would be interesting, so we...Read this update March 27, 2004Pics AddedHi all, I FINALLY found a place where I could put pictures on from CD. I swear, it was easier in Thailand! So look at the main Sydney entry for several pics and I added ones to the Full Moon...Read this update March 26, 2004Surfin' to NewcastleHi all! So we are now in Newcastle... we arrived yesterday morning and broke down and bought a YHA card.

I figure I've been in Sydney about NINE days!! The first few days we stayed in...Read this update March 23, 2004Eating Cheap in SydneyJim and I discovered a little thing by accident that we've been taking advantage of over the last few days. If you go to one of the huge underground food courts by the big and beautiful Victoria Building around 5:30...Read this update Still in SydneyHi everyone! It's been super long since I've posted. Internet costs a fortune here, well, everything costs a fortune here. I was excited to finally be able to put up a pic oe two, and I just spent a HALF...Read this update March 22, 2004Thailand - Final TallyClick here to see my route in Thailand. BEST thing: Natural beauty & Cheapness WORST thing: Smell of sewage, being lied to and tried to sell something every 2 seconds, inconvenient services, and.... THE HEAT. What I'll Miss the Most:...Read this update March 19, 2004Guess Who's BackYay! This morning I woke up in the hostel and I was excited because I knew Jim was supposed to get here today....Read this update March 17, 2004Sydney Bathroom FloorsIf I had to describe the weather here in one word, it would be "glorious." It gets a tiny bit hot during the day, but other than that, there is a beautiful breeze and very pleasant weather. I LOVE IT....Read this update March 15, 2004Sydney Baby!!I'm here! I made it through the long flight, but it wasn't so bad since it was super empty and I got to lie down on the entire row of the plane. The food was uncharacteristically bad, though. The Sydney...Read this update Escape from T-LandTo get out of Thailand, I flew to Bangkok from Phuket, stayed in Bangkok for a night, then the next steps were to fly to Singapore then Sydney. THAT SOUNDS SO EASY. If you haven't traveled independently before, and you...Read this update March 14, 2004One Night in BangkokI'm in Bangkok! What? You might be saying. Or if you don't know the geography of Thailand and where Bangkok is, and where I was, you probably don't think it is weird....Read this update March 12, 2004Full Moon Party (Part II)So I told you about the hotel and what it was like in Ko Phan-gan. We made our way down to Hat Rin the day before the party and found that the beach was actually pretty nice! The waves were...Read this update March 11, 2004Tons of Pics AddedOk, got some time in hot and boring Samui. Still need to tell about the Full Moon Party, Ko Tao, Ko Samui, and what's next.... Jim on a beach with some interesting scenery. Maya Bay, on Ko Phi Phi Ley...Read this update March 10, 2004Little ol' Ko TaoAfter the Full Moon Party on Ko Phan-gan, we went to Ko Tao. It is the smallest of the 3 islands and the least developed. We rented a motorbike and cruised down the main road, and by main, I mean,...Read this update Koh Phangan Part IHi everyone. Currently we are in Koh Samui (yeah, we weren't planning on coming here until yesterday. And I am not ashamed to say we just ate at Burger King and IT WAS AWESOME.) Anyway, I never told you about...Read this update March 08, 2004Ko TaoInternet costs a fortune here, so I only have a minute. I'll have to write about the Full Moon Party later. We are currently on Ko Tao, a tiny little island by Ko Samui and Ko Phan-gan. Tomorrow Jim is...Read this update March 03, 2004Burma Visa RunWe got a room in Ranong for like 300 baht or something.

We went to "Pon's Place," a travel agency listed in the guidebook, to arrange the...Read this update March 02, 2004I Found Nemo (Part II)So. We stayed on Ko Phi Phi. The beaches and scenery from the island is just incredible. Walking on the path along the coast. Lots of touristy shops...
